* Liquidity *
LIQUIDITY - The degree of ease and certainty of value with which a security can be converted into cash.
The ability of a business to meet its obligations as they come due; the more liquid a business is, the better able it is to meet short-term financial obligations.
Liquidity ratios are measurements used to calculate the degree of a company's liquidity. Some common liquidity ratios and the formulas for calculating them are as follows:
* Accounts receivable turnover = Total credit sales divided by average accounts receivable
* Accounts payable turnover = Total credit purchases divided by average accounts payable
* Inventory turnover = Total cost of sales divided by average inventory
* Acid-test = Cash plus securities plus accounts receivable, divided by current liabilities
* Current ratio = Current assets divided by current liabilities
* Working capital = Current assets minus the sum of current liabilities
